Embodiment Construction
[0014] In the following detailed description, reference is made to the accompanying drawings which form a part hereof, and specific embodiments in which the invention may be practiced are shown by way of illustration. It is to be understood that other embodiments may be used and structural or logical changes may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
[0015] The present application discusses, among other things, systems and methods for monitoring lung tidal volume, or breathing volume. Illustrative examples of methods of monitoring lung tidal volume by measuring trans-thoracic impedance are described in Hartley et al. U.S. Pat. No. 6,076,015 entitled “RATE ADAPTIVE CARDIAC RHYTHM MANAGEMENT DEVICE USING TRANSTHORACIC IMPEDANCE,” which is incorporated herein by reference.
[0016] As discussed above, congestive heart failure (CHF) involves the reduced ability to move blood from veins to arteries. Insufficient flow from veins to arteries allows blood to build ...
